Environmental impact assessment for Phu Ly city subproject : appendices

The development objective of the Medium Cities Development Project for Vietnam is to increase access to improved urban infrastructure services in three selected medium sized cities, Lao Cai, Phu Ly, and Vinh, in a sustainable and efficient manner. Some of the negative impacts and mitigation measures include: (1) exposed soil and material stockpiles shall be protected against wind erosion and the location of stockpiles shall take into consideration the prevailing wind directions and locations of sensitive receptors; (2) all vehicles must comply with Vietnamese regulations controlling allowable emission limits of exhaust gases; (3) avoiding or minimizing transportation though community areas and avoiding as well as material processing areas (such as cement mixing); (4) wastewater over standards set by relevant Vietnam technical standards and regulations must be collected in a conservancy tank and removed from site by licensed waste collectors; (5) to avoid sediment-laded runoff that can adversely affect watercourses, install sediment control structures where needed to slow or redirect runoff, and trap sediment until vegetation is established; (6) before construction, all necessary waste disposal permits or licenses must be obtained; and (7) avoid material transportation for construction during rush hour.
